In short: Brilliant low-key race.
In full: Lightning fast course in my opinion, without any slopes steep enough to put you off your stride -I went 2 minutes faster than Bristol without being in much better shape.
Very well organised and well marshalled, even though it was in the countryside you never went an (accurately-marked) mile without seeing marshals and supporters. The combination of free food (hot-pot) and goody bags (hat, chocolate, medal) at the finish seemed generous and a nice touch.
More car parking and less wind in the last few miles would have been great, but you can't have it all!
Also, all credit to the organisers for not cancelling it due to the recent panic about weather. The course was fine and it's not like anyone froze to death.

In full: A fantastic course to set a pb, mildly undulating, would have been quicker if it wasn't for the wind. Great organisation and prizes, sports cap water bottle at each water station. I think in time it will be as big as brass monkey and helsby.

In short: Well impressed
In full: Great route great marshalls great hotpot and great goody bag what more can I say. Route is on roads that aren't closed but its quiet enough an area for that not to be a prob. Good communication from the team prior to race , enough wart we stations with rubbish bags after to throw the used bottles in although as usual not everyone complies only thing I'd suggest is just a couple more portaloos
